In a renewed bid to clamp down on illegal car guards operating in Kouga Municipality, several selected preferred car guards have been provided with new reflector jackets.<\/p>\n

The first group of car guards received their jackets this week, with more scheduled later in the month.<\/p>\n

The newly-issued dark blue jackets feature a yellow-and-grey reflector line in the middle, an individualised number at the upper centre of the back and \u201cSafer JBay\u201d at the bottom. Each jacket will also display the car guard\u2019s name and photo.<\/p>\n

Kouga executive mayor, Hattingh Bornman said,<\/p>\n

\n
All the preferred car guards will be wearing identical and easily identifiable jackets. This measure aims at reducing the risk of unauthorized individuals posing as car guards by adopting the specific jacket.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe cannot afford to have everyone calling themselves \u201ccar guards\u201d and having easy access to people\u2019s vehicles and other valuables.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged motorists to choose the preferred car guards to mitigate the risk of disappointment and loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us support those who are making an effort to be presentable, polite, and properly qualified to look after vehicles, so that we can eliminate those who tend to be more of a nuisance than helpful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the preferred car guards operate independently and are not officially employed by the municipality, there will be enhanced co-ordination and close monitoring, to ensure their sobriety and presentability.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny deviation from expected behaviour will result in the immediate loss of their jackets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bornman said that the initiative aims at prioritising the safety of motorists and their belongings, rather than preventing individuals from earning an income.<\/p>\n

The sponsorship for the new jackets came from the Kouga Business Forum and Jeffreys Bay Tourism Office.<\/p>\n
